Cockpit view of BOEING 747 starting engines, taxi and TAKEOFF

Manual flight by the F/O

Nice! Flew the 747 for 10 years and one year out of Leige into Africa. Great memories. Thank you Captain! ✈️👩🏻‍✈️🇯🇲🇺🇸

[@WendyKS93]

Captain this is simply a fabulous video. Thoroughly enjoyed the chance to truly see inside the cockpit and all the various panels and displays and just exactly what all is involved in preparing for a flight.The many details involved in getting ready. The slow taxiing to the runway and that moment of takeoff was very exhilarating as it made me feel as if I was actually there on the plane soaring above the clouds. The attention to details and the seriousness of what you do and also the love you have for your job was so evident. Thank you for a window into the world of flying and taking us along on you're journeys. Keep up the great work.

[@magneticman2003]

Hi Captain, nothing like hearing those big old Pratt's roaring into life and then experiencing the take off with you guy's. Thanks for sharing and happy landings;-))

Great camera work. Focus on instruments with intermittant shots out the windows. Belgium looked so beautiful on take off. The clouds toward the end were breath taking. Thank you so much for sharing this.

FANTASTIC camera work in this video. The cameraman nailed everything of interest with focus on the instruments and then some view outside. Just brilliant stuff, best of youtube. I was also surprised how long the plane was flown by hand, no AP engage!

Nice hand flying by the F/O very cool departure. Thank you for posting Captain. I do miss the start up checklist with the 200 and flight engineer calling out the N1 percentages to Max motoring, then 50%, it's a much more relaxed start on the 400. Cheers.

I found a cool app (Plane Finder) where I can find a particular plane and follow it on its flight path in real time. I found a CAL Cargo plane, JFK to LGG, and followed it from taxi out to the runway, takeoff and all the way out over the Atlantic. The app shows altitude, speed, and course. Totally fascinating. I am also astounded by the number of airplanes in the sky at the same time.

Probably a silly question... I'm a retired US Navy Marine Gas Turbine tech, LM2500's... say you're on a Long flight and going with the jet stream, or really strong wind from aft. Obviously you'll go alot faster! Do yall ever put 2 engines at lower rpms, or even stop them, to save fuel?

[@juanfinkelstein1688]

The stby altimeter is working well? Jumping from 3500ft to 3700ft for example...

[@carmenseeger311]

Juan Finkelstein normal behaviour for steam gauges. They tend to do that and often they show a few hundred feet off at high altitude. totally fine and expected

[@GNX157]

How much fuel would you save if you just ran the APU and they used an electric tug to take you from pushback to take off threshold? Just before reaching you’d start engines and idle.

[@davidpalmer9780]

You need a bit more time to warm up all 4 engines so it would be negligible. On long queuing to the holding point it's not uncommon for the crew to shutdown engines after they've already warmed up to conserve fuel.

[@drvasantbhaipatel6323]

Due to social media even common man can get glimpses of cockpit otherwise no chance till ones death...

GREAT FOOTAGE OF THE B747 COCKPIT BUT IS IT NORMAL FOR THE CONTROL PANEL TO HAVE THE HEAVY FLUCTUATIONS ON THE SCREENS? THANKS...ANYONE?

[@davidpalmer9780]

The displays do actually flicker in real life but your eyes don't see it due to your eyes 'persistence of vision'. Just like a fluorescent light tube flickers when viewed on a slow motion video at a rate of your mains power frequency (50 - 60 hz) you're eyes don't notice it due to the eyes aforementioned effect.

[@robertholland5771]

What causes the screens on the main panel to flicker like they do. It's annoying.

[@davidpalmer9780]

@@robertholland5771 It's the draw rate mismatch that occurs between the symbol generator on the CRT and the frame rate of the video camera. Sometimes it matches giving a clear picture of the CRT's and sometimes it doesn't giving the effect you dislike.

[@richrich863]

[@davidpalmer9780]

Simple...they just look out ahead and align/steer themselves with the painted centreline on the runway.

[@THEBEAUTIFULTIMEJED]

There is an important note My assistant captain caught my foot on the control panel Line here and tell him and his ilk the defect of this behavior, you are in the cabin of flying a plane and I am not in a café

[@davidpalmer9780]

You'd think so... but no dierespect is shown here. Thw B747's have purpose built foot rests to place your feet on them.

[@alvarito45]

Why has the captain set the gear in the middle?

[@davidpalmer9780]

The middle position is the OFF position and reduces the wear and tear on the hydraulics of the landing gear in the OFF position inseat of leaving it in the UP position.

[@cq4545]

ทำไมถึงวางเท้าแบบน้้น แลดูไม่มีมารยาท

[@tafiqulbarirabbi2000]

Can't u start all the 4 engines together.... I mean at a time?

[@davidpalmer9780]

Unfortunately you cant start all 4 engines at once because you have a limited amount of duct air pressure feeding the engine to start it up. You get more when a ground power unit (GPU) supplies the airpressure to spin the blades at start and a bit less from the APU in the tail. Monitoring the duct pressure is important when starting each engine.

[@fralucalii]

Why does the altimeter jerkily? 10:40

[@davidpalmer9780]

Analogue instrumentation like that altimeter can be a bit jerky sometimes and pilots are aware of this. It's mainly because of friction inside the device.

[@yes_head]

I've watched a few of these now and it seems like more often than not the person in the number 2 seat handles take-offs and landings. Is this SOP, or is this to give the co-pilot as much experience as possible so that they can graduate to captain as quickly as possible?

[@davidpalmer9780]

It's giving the first officer experience under the supervision of the captain.

[@teresakramer2438]

Is there a reason why the screens flicker on and off when you take off and land. Just curious.

[@spency787]

They don’t actually flicker Teresa, it’s just the camera making it look that way

[@azzajohnson2123]

Because the screens are CRT (cathode ray tube) most of the 747 fleet did not come out with LCD screens until after 2002-2003. Most of these planes are old workhorses completely reworked at regular intervals but still using tried and true 1980s-2000 tech. The flickering you are seeing is the refresh rates matching the camera refresh rates, much like flickering with fluorescent lighting.
